Some reporter ran OIL with U. D.
District Attorney Pearre's copy OF
the written testimony of witnesses in
the Corder case, and failed to return
il in time for the opening of court
yesterday morning, and the consc-
quence was that Judge Pearre had to
90 on the hunt for the document. The
Judge is . patient man. and one of the
poltest men on earth and extremely
accommodating to reporters, and il
was treating the Judge unfairly to say
the least.

called it a story, and gave it for what it
was worth; but it happens to be value
less, except as an effort to detract at
tention from the real issue. The facts
are that when the school board had de-
termined to purchase this property for a
new school house site, the property was
publicly known to be in the market for
5000 to the owner, and was advertised
by agents for $500, and the board could
have purchased the same for $1,000, and
they had every opportunity of knowing
that fact. Again, $4,000 was and is the
outside limit of value to that property,
and the school officers had every OppOr-
tunity to learn it value. Hence the
query: Why did they contract to pay
for property at least $500 more than it
was actually worth? Ignorance will not
excuse, nor the desire to be generous to
a friend eXtenuate so lavish, nay need
less, an expenditure of public money;
and | venture the assertion that not one
of these same officers would have pur-
chased this property for private ac-
count at the price agreed upon. The
people have Il right to demand from
their public servants, invested with
public trust, that some business integ-
rity and exercise of care as should per-
tain i'll private affair. Let the facts mot
iiction) appear, and public servants ac-
count to the taxpayers for the eXpendi-
ture of their money. A. q. WEDGE.

THE CHILD PIANIST.
A Four ear-OId Musical Prodigy
From Anoi1a.

A real infant phenomenon is indeed
phenomenal. Like the poor, ''the in
FAINT phenomenon" of immortal Vincent
Criimmels' combination type, as it is por-
trayed in Nicholas Nickieby, as Miss
Ninetta Crummels, is always with us.
With their dRarfed statrrres, wizened
faces and artificially childish methods,
these old-yotlng naryels, who are never
known to arrive at i more mature age
than ten years, have been so continually
before the public that they have long
ceased to attract any special attention.
To find little girl still in the bloom and
freshness of her early childhood, eXhib-
iting with simple, unaffected grace and
sweetness, rare and extraordinary
natural gift, is really very much out of
the common. An exhibition of this
kind in Chicago has attracted not alone
those desiring to be amused by the uii-
usual, but also those who are pursuing
different lines of psychic investigation.
Mamie Little. the child who is attract
ing this investigation, and is really a
phenomenon, is at the Seventh Street
Museum. Mamie was born at the little
town of Anoka, MIMI, in 1888. Her
well-to-do townspeople of the vii
1age, and. she is the youngest of
fouf children. Her mother affirms that
she was always an exceptionally good
child, giving no unnecessary trouble,
and that she would amuse herself for
almost any length of time in her own
way in happy self-sustained content
nleilt. When see was two years old her
sister, to amuse her, placed her at an
organ, and ever after nothing made lit
tie Mamie SO happy as to be placed at
this instrument. . When she was two
and a half years of age it was discover
ed that she was playing the air of the
Mocking Bird, and from that time forth
she played not only such airs as she
heard. but also those which she had
never had an opportunity of hearing.
Now, at four years of age, her repertory
includes more than a hundred different
airs, which she plays in perfect time
and tune, although she can scarcely
reach across five keys with her tiny
hands. Not only does she play these
tunes seated at the piano in the ordin-
airy way, but blindfolded, as seen in the
accompanying cut, and also with two
thickness of cloth over the keys of the
instrument she plays different airs with
ease and accuracy.

APARROT'S REVENGE.
Dick Warmers Parrot Has Fun
With Pat Rasche..

Yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock
the people on jackson street near
Fourth were startled by Shrill cries of
''Dick" ''Dick!'' Let me goin LET
me go!"
The voice was evidently was that of a
female, and everybody stopped and
looked around to see where the cries
come from. Officer Cary brushed a fly
on his nose, grabbed his locust club and
started up the street at q Johnston pace.
A woman wheeling a baby carriage,
threw her arms around a bald-headed
man who was looking up in the air, and
yelled: Save me! somebody's being
murderedt' And placing his arm
firmly around her waist, he said in
tragic Voice: ''l'll save You or die in
the attempt" A bootblack heard the
cries and Skinned up a telegraph pole to
obtain better point of view, An old
lady carrying dark green umbrella
opened it and seuatted down on the
Sidewalk and stayed there until the po-
lice removed her. 1t was an exciting
hour.
During this commetien three men
walked calmly up the street. One was
Pat Rascte, the other Jim Ahern and
the third Billy Iweml3ly. AS the sllrieks
rent the air Pats face showed signs of
silent suffering. His brow would
Wrinkle, his lips twitch and his breath
come in gaSpS.
The cries grew louder and more
plainfiFe, and then sank into a low CUR
gle, as though some one was being
choked.
Where is it?" yelled Officer Cary.
What is it?'' howled twenty-five diff
ferent beople.
Cant somebody save her?" shouted a
tall woman i'll black, with a sharp nose,
short hair and a pair of SpectaeIeS.
Still the three men walked on, and the
Signs of agony in Pat RaSche's face
grew horrible in their intensity. He
seemed to be growing nervous. He
would every few seconds jump Up in the
air and then back UP against building
anu pound has body against it. He was
lndulging in one of these peculiar per
formanceS when a policeman swho was
passing stopped and gave him a suspi-
clous look. Walking up to Pat he took
him by the collar and, yanking him out
III the middle of the sidewalk, said:
BE you making that noise?o
.'No-no," jerked out Pat.
just then a louder shrek than before
went out. ''Dickl'' "Dick!'' screamed
the voice.
Whirling Pat around. the policeman
showed his hand into his coat-tail pocket
and pulled out Dick Warmers pet par
rot; Pat had slipped into Dicks Office
and secretly removed the parrot just for
joke. The anticipation of the Joke
was evidently greater than the realiza-
ton, for as soon as the parrot was out
OF his pocket Pat grabbed his coat-tails
with his right hand aud ran into Allen S
drug. store. Behind the prescription
case he pulled off his coat, and the cause
OF Pats nervousness on the street was
way through the coat pocket
and the packside of Pats trousers and
the visible supply of gore was startling.

THAT SCHOOL SITE.
Why Was $4,000 Paid for $9,-
500 Worth OF Land?

To the Editor of the Globe.
Ill your report this morning of the
"West Side union'' appears serious
error relating to the purchase of a
school house site, which have no doubt
you would be glad to correct. Your re-
port says:
There is an Interesting story told in con-
nection with the affair. 1t is in effect that
after the board, in executive session, had
agreed 10 purchase new site a West side
real estate man, who is related to one of the
inspectors, learned of the action of the board
and offered them the piece of property which
they eventually purchased At the same
time another real estate man had an option
on the property at $1,000, and when he
learned of the scoop he and the other real
estate dealers naturally fell sore and last
nights action of the union was the result of
their dissatisfaction. This is the story given
TO Il GLOBE representative by one in a posi-
lion to know, and il may be taken for what
it is worth.
Now, this is story, and one of pure
fiction at that; and your reporter wisely
